Description

Definition
A three-digit code system for identification of each item of consumer expenditure has been used. The digit in the hundreds place indicates broad division of items; the hundred and tens places together specify groups of items and all the three digits together indicate a particular item. Item code ending with '8' represents 'others', that is, any item belonging to the particular group but not listed sepa­rately. Similarly, a code with '9' in the unit place is a sub-total item.

Apart from clothing proper, this category includes bedsheets, bedcovers, pillows, curtains, mattresses, blankets, rugs, mats and mattings, cotton yarn, wool, and knitting wool. It, however, excludes tailoring charges, which come under "miscellaneous goods and services".
